Russ,

Lesson #1 - the person who makes the claim (in this case you) is responsible for supplying evidence to support that claim. The burden of proof is upon YOU, the person making the claim. You should know this.

Pasting a link to the Cornell Law web site does not constitute evidence for a UN conspiracy to kill us all with amalgams. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Lesson #2 - if you want to convince reasonable people that something is true, you can't just paste together a bunch of marginally related information and draw irrelevant conclusions from them (please do read up on the Ignoratio Elenchi fallacy). You have to establish a causal link between the information you presented, which you obviously have not done.

Lesson #3 - when you have an argument with a faulty foundation, don't dig yourself deeper by falling back upon these logical fallacies (please do read up on the "appeal to authority" fallacy). Step back and break the argument down.

Lesson #4 - you can't make a claim, then say "I am the expert, go read these books". That's not how it works in the world of logic. If your arguments were presented in a formal debate, you would be laughed at (not because the arguments themselves are outrageous, but because of your PRESENTATION of the information).

Bottom line: you have presented no evidence to support a link between the UN population control and the use of amalgam fillings.

Hint: I know you're a big fan of the straw man argument, so let me head this one off at the path -- I did not say there was no conspiracy, nor did I say conspiracies don't exist. Nor did I say anything other than the FACT that you have not supported your claim with any evidence.

Should you decide to back up your claim, I'd be more than willing to listen. So please tell me -- what is your evidence that the UN is plotting mass murder via dental fillings? Show me the money!

Until then, you're just making another unsubstantiated claim.
